Why hasn't Samsung announced a new 8 inch note tablet?

Does anybody know anything about a new Note 8.0?

Errr.... maybe because the current one has only recently been released in many countries.

There is a whole thread on upcoming Note 8 successor here, full of uninformed guesses and wild speculations. Enjoy.

I would imagine it would have something to do with this tablet only being out for 6 months. How often do you find out about new Apple products? Or Toyota? Or anything else that matters?

I imagine the next Note 8.0 will be released next year and pretty much be a Note 3 in this form factor, but with a poorer camera and no flash. x.x

No offence, but there is not much point to this thread. Perhaps time for it to be closed.

The Note 10.1 Came out in August of 2012. The Note 8 came out in April 2013. The Note 10.1 2014 edition was released in October of 2013, roughly a year after the original. I expect the next version of the Note 8 to follow a similar yearly schedule.

[Q] When will 12.2 Pro be avaialble? Does Samsung upgrade large tablet every year?

Considering to get the Note 10.1 2014 or the 12.2 Note Pro. Is it true that the 12.2 Note Pro will be available for purchase in March? Somewhere I read that it will be the first week of March. During this waiting period, I am considering to get the iPad Mini Retina Display or iPad Air or Note 10.1 2014 and when the 12.2 Note Pro comes out, do a trade-in immediately when the 12.2 Note Pro is out. Do you expect that all the problems (e.g. lag, when the power is low, cannot use the device even it is plugged in to the electric socket because charging is slow, etc.) with the current 10.1 2014 will be fixed in 12.2 Note Pro? I read that recharging on the 10.1 2014 is slow but Samsung has not implemented faster charging via USB 3.0.

Latest rumor is for a Feb 14 release of the Pro series. Rumor is based on an internal Samsung memo restricting employee vacations that weekend.

So it is better to wait until then to see how it goes?

What do you want?
The 10.1 and 12.2 are very different in size, if you need a bigger tablet your better off just waiting.

If possible, I want both the 12.2 and 8" versions.

The Tab|Pro 8.4 and 10.1 are the same price as the iPad Mini Retina and iPad Air respectively. The Note|Pro 12 prices are set at a new high for Android tablets. These aren't going to be jumping off the shelves; especially to the point of needing more staff to handle the throngs of anxious customers. If you break it down and de-emotionalize it the Tab/Note|Pro's they're just another set of high-end Android tablets with top tier h/w specs, a new user interface, and a bunch of included s/w that's all provided by third parties that are already available today for any Android tablet. That might be really exciting for us (N10.1-14 owners) and enthusiasts but does anyone here think Samsung's 2014 premium tablets are going to turn the market on end and have Apple quaking in their boots? I think they'll do well (+/-10-15M sold this year including the N10.1-14) but those aren't big numbers in the greater scheme of things when there will be +300M mobile devices sold this year by Samsung.

and yeah
at this point I expect the high-end to be updated each year. This year got the screen on the 10.1 from junk to quality resolution. Samsung should have a process-shrink on their chips in the next year, so likely higher-performance at lower power consumption chips will be available a year from now. I'll probably skip the next generation (unless it blends and makes ice cream) but my wife's 1st gen nexus 7 will be ready to be replaced in the next generation of 7".
On the size side, after a month with a 10", I would not want larger in a tablet. I can just barely palm the 10" in portrait mode. I love the larger screen compared to a 7", but the 7" fits in a jacket pocket and the 10" will not.

Anybody knows why Samsung does not make the Note Pro 8.4 available at the same time? Do they want us to buy the 12.2 first and when we feel that it is too heavy, they release the Note Pro 8.4?
Although I need a laptop to run engineer and CAD applications, most of the time I could do the web browsing and document typing/reading on a tablet I suppose. The Note Pro 8.4 is good to use when I am waiting at the bus stop or on the bus. The 12.2 is good when I use it at the restaurant while waiting for the foods.

I would prefer the Samsung eventually as I can make phone calls using the Pro 10.1 and 12.2. I can also access flash flash websites, have additional memory and most importantly S-pen.
Can anybody confirm whether or not the Pro 12.2 has native phone calling and receiving capability? I plan to get a headphone with a mic. Thanks.

Almost all Samsung's tablets come in 3G and/or 4G versions which have a Dialer and MMS app. Exceptions being the U.S. and Turkey. I have a 3G N10.1-14 imported from Latin America.

Does that mean the international 4G LTE version of the Note PRO 12.2 will have native phone capability?

Sample...

The Note|Pro 12 Wi-Fi is up for pre-order on the Samsung UK site. It's also got pictures of the tablet from all sides. Earlier, there was confusion about the placement of the USB 3.0 port with some pics showing center bottom and some showing center right. The official pics have it center right.

Pre-order the Note Pro 12.2 today and get a free Gamepad
£649.00
Scheduled to ship on Feb 4. 2014 in black or white

It seems that the one available for pre-order is not an international LTE version. Am I right?

So the 8.4 cellular model is out now?

I have pre-ordered the NotePro 12.2 LTE some weeks ago for 899 Euro. Big tab, big price. Even the iPad Air is cheaper.... (869€)
I am so excited !!
But - disappointment wouldn´t be a surprise.
Officially the release here in Germany is 8th calendar week, which has started today ! Cyberport assumes delivery on 21st February.. Just in 3 days.
Will give you my personal impressions here when it´s here.

Device arrived today here.
My unit´s display is yellowish at top, mainly top left and right corner.
Inacceptable for me personally, that´s why I´ll make a return and get another one,
Anything else:
UI ist ugly and stuttering. Pen is working fine, overall impression is really nice.
Will install another Launcher on the next unit.

So a rumor about a historically sketchy company when it comes to updates.. Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick update. If one ever arrives it will likely be months if not half a year. By then, Lollipop 5.1 or 5.2 is probably out and it's already outdated again.

Yeah I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 gt n8013. The official firmware for that is still 4.1.2 there was a big announcement for kit Kat for the note it said "select carrier variants" well that was true. It wasn't a carrier variant and it didn't get selected.

Yeah, I would say there is a reasonable chance of Lollipop, likely after Mallomor has already been announced.

Is another Google Nexus on the verge so soon ?

I just came across this story and became sad after reading it.

I assumed that Google Nexus phones would be refreshed every two year once, but it seems another Nexus phones could be released within this year itself. [emoji22] [emoji22] [emoji22]

It seems the trend goes back even farther than that, the earliest Nexus devices were released in winter, at the start and end of 2010 respectively:
- Nexus One (HTC): January 5, 2010
- Nexus S (Samsung): December 16, 2010
Also the original Android phone was launched in the fall:
- HTC Dream: October 22, 2008
(The HTC Dream isn't really a Nexus, but I think it wanted to be one; it was Google branded, and it ran stock Android.)

But people where touting that Nexus 5 was replaced only after 2 years with 5x after two years.
But i was disappointed to see 5x to be replaced so soon.

I think you're looking at it wrong as "replacement". there's no reason to think that *just because* another 5" version of the Nexus phone will be released this year that the the 2015 5X will suddenly be obsolete.
It not at all unexpected either..pretty much all flagship phone brand lines are updated annually.

I have the 5x and I already want a new device. Come on it was only like 300+ on super Thursday. Then I can give this beauty to the Mrs and bye bye vzw. Fi is the only way to go.

Whats the closest possible tablet closest to our 8.4s?

Just curious guys, if you had to buy a tablet in the 7 to 9 inch range, not including the 8.4, what would you choose and why?
I love my 8.4 but 2 years have passed and imo I still dont see a suitable replacement.

I would wait for the Tab S3. Maybe announced in March.
